At The Spurstowe Arms in Hackney, you'll find a charming pub vibe serving up crispy, London-style pizzas from Dough Hands, offering mouthwatering toppings that tantalize the palate.
"The Spurstowe Arms—an unofficially Ganni-sponsored Hackney pub—serves excellent pizzas courtesy of Dough Hands. They fall somewhere between classic New York-style and Neapolitan. The toppings—tomato pie with stracciatella, or ‘nduja with hot honey—lean NYC, while the charred pillowy crusts and flop factor can lean slightly Neapolitan. Our favourite is the tomato pie, followed closely by the citrussy, spicy tuna. They also serve the same, great pies from The Old Nun’s Head pub in Nunhead." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"On any given weekend The Spurstowe Arms has more cowboy boots and mullets than the Texas State Fair. But from Tuesdays to Sundays the unofficially Ganni-sponsored, Hackney pub serves excellent pizzas courtesy of Dough Hands. They fall somewhere between classic New York-style and Neapolitan.

They're self-proclaimed ‘London-style’ pizzas that fall somewhere between classic New York-style and Neapolitan. The toppings—tomato pie with stracciatella, or ‘nduja and hot honey—lean NYC, while the charred pillowy crusts and flop factor can lean slightly Neapolitan. Either way the thin pies are excellent.

The bright red marinara is spread evenly across the crisp base, and if you add the stracciatella as an extra (which you should), you’ll get bites of creamy, light cheese and rich tomato sauce that balance out perfectly. photo credit: Koray Firat Spicy Tuna A fiery, zesty number. This Calabrian chilli tuna, lemon, and red onion-topped pizza is a fun mix of flavours. Grandma Pie We had high hopes for this wedge of square pizza. But it lacked tomato sauce and we found it a little dry. Stick with the excellent thin-base pizzas." - Rianne Shlebak
